One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in West Babylon battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
